RC Transfer in Delhi
Buying or selling a used vehicle in Delhi requires completing an RC transfer within 30 days under Section 50 of the Motor Vehicles Act – failure to do so attracts penalties and creates legal ownership disputes. Kagzikaam handles the complete Delhi ownership transfer: Form 29 and 30 filing, Aadhaar-based e-KYC for buyer and seller, road tax verification, and Smart Card RC delivery tracking.

Under the Faceless Services initiative by the Delhi Government, the process is governed by the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR). Whether it is a “Normal Sale,” a transfer due to “Death of Owner,” or an “Auction Vehicle,” legal compliance is paramount to avoid future liabilities, accident claims, and e-challan disputes.
Delhi follows a strict 14-day mandate for reporting a vehicle sale within the city and a 45-day window for transfers involving a buyer outside the state. Failure to comply leads to monthly penalties. Furthermore, the Supreme Court’s mandates regarding vehicle age (10 years for Diesel, 15 years for Petrol) mean that RC transfers are only permitted for vehicles that have not crossed these thresholds or have a valid extension through a Green Tribunal clearance.
At Kagzikaam, we specialize in managing these digital intricacies. We ensure that your application is filed correctly in the Vahan 4.0 portal, managing everything from the initial Form 29/30 submission to the final HSRP (High-Security Registration Plate) alignment in the new owner’s name.

Post-transfer, we help ensure your vehicle is updated with the mandatory High-Security Registration Plates and fuel-specific color-coded stickers as per the latest Delhi NCR environment norms.
Required Documents for Delhi RC Transfer
The Delhi RTO is meticulous regarding documentation. Any mismatch in signatures or address proof leads to “Objection” marks on the portal. Below is the verified checklist:
Seller’s Side
- Original Registration Certificate (Smart Card)
- Form 29 (Notice of Transfer – 2 Copies)
- Form 30 (Report of Transfer – 1 Copy)
- Valid Insurance Copy
- Pollution Under Control (PUC) Certificate
- Aadhaar Card (Linked to Mobile)
Buyer’s Side
- Aadhaar Card (Address must be Delhi-NCR)
- PAN Card (Mandatory for value > 50,000)
- Passport Size Photographs (Digital)
- Local Address Proof (Electricity/Water/Rent Agreement)
- Date of Birth Proof
Pro-Tip for Delhi Residents: If you are purchasing a vehicle from a company (Commercial to Private), you also need a Board Resolution and Form 32 if the vehicle was acquired through a public auction.

Connect with Delhi RTO ExpertFrequently Asked Questions
What is the “Faceless Service” in Delhi RTO?
It means you do not need to visit the RTO office physically. All applications, document uploads, and identity verifications are done online via Aadhaar. The new RC is sent directly to your home.
Can I transfer a 10-year-old Diesel car in Delhi?
Generally, No. Diesel vehicles older than 10 years and Petrol vehicles older than 15 years cannot be transferred within Delhi. However, you can apply for an NOC to move them outside the NCR if they are within certain age limits.
How much does the RC transfer cost in Delhi?
The official government fee is approximately ₹530 (which includes the transfer fee of ₹300, smart card fee of ₹200, and postal charges of ₹30). Additional charges apply for late filing or hypothecation removal.
Is a PAN card mandatory for transfer?
Yes, if the sale value of the vehicle exceeds ₹50,000. If you do not have a PAN card, you must submit Form 60 as per Income Tax Department rules.
What happens if there are pending traffic challans?
The RTO portal will “Blacklist” the vehicle for any services if there are unpaid court-level challans. You must clear all fines on the Delhi Traffic Police website before the transfer can proceed.
